Pentax Optio S55 Review at Trusted Reviews

The Pentax Optio S55 sports a giant 2.5 inch LCD monitor, a 3X zoom, and 5.0 effective megapixels. A handy mode dial helps select from 6 still image shooting modes. Use the Help mode to display function explanations for shooting and playback, and help reduce your instruction manual dependency. Add to these helpful features, a compact aluminum alloy design that ensures you will never sacrifice style with the PENTAX Optio S55.

Pentax Optio S55

"As a budget compact, the Optio S55 has a lot going for it, but unfortunately it is let down by image noise problems and a very confusing list of modes and options. It is rugged and well made though, so you could do worse for your winter holidays."
